“It appears to be an almost universal tendency to charge paganism to all who have the wisdom to understand the underlying principles of the teachings of the ancient Initiatory Priesthoods and Schools of Initiation, and have the hardihood to defend and to point out what these Priesthoods and Schools really believed taught to their devotees and members. The most ancient and at the same time the most universal symbol of God and all that the Great Creator stood for and still stands for, was that of the ever-burning fire which in the ancient temples was represented by the Vestal fires. The triangle, whether or not immersed in flame, with the Hebrew letter Yod in its center, is a modern example to which more than eight million of the world’s best educated men subscribe, yet few would dare to accuse them of idolatry. These accusers display gross ignorance not alone by their failure to comprehend the deep significance of these ever-burning lights so prominent in all ancient religious ceremonies, but likewise of the contents of the Book of which they are so seemingly proud and which they would have us believe they understand so thoroughly. The Bible, both the old and new testament, is our text book on Philosophy of Fire and the Sacred Flame, the esoteric side of the Great Work.”
